Linnaeus has not adduced Van Rheedes figure to hishirfus; and it being possible that his plant may be specifi-cally distinct from the present, we have deemed it safer toabide by Koenigs specific name; his plant being clearly thespecies and variety of Van Rheede and Roxburgh, as well asof the present article. We do not know that the species has been before intro-duced into this country. Cultivated in the hothouse. The coloui* of the flower isextremely 338 TABERN^MONTANA amygdallfolla.
